When a radical action is proposed and someone disagrees with that action, it doesn't mean they are in support of the symptom. In this case, it is universally agreed that child slave labor is bad. These lawsuits call for punishing a recipient many transactions away from the mining. It's not calling on the governments, nor the immediate companies involved. Nor is it calling for all parties who are recipients of cobalt, which would include end users. It is just piling onto the two minutes of hate surrounding a couple megacorps. This is so clearly something that needs to be resolved through legislation and diplomacy. These companies have been purchasing cobalt legally (presumably). If they haven't, a civil lawsuit isn't the answer; criminal charges are.
